Astrology and the Flow of Life Part IOne of the advantages that astrology offers to even the beginner or casual user is the means to objectively show the cycles that affect each of us. Often people seek out the counsel of a professional astrologer in order to find out why they are undergoing certain experiences at the moment, and the astrological reasons are usually clearly apparent.

Space Shuttle Columbia from Start to FinishStreaking across the sky above North Central Texas shortly after sunrise, the Space Shuttle Columbia is minutes from touching down onto the Earth's surface when disaster intervenes. Over the years, the space program in the United States has continued almost unnoticed by the general public and the media.
